From 5 Plays To See In San Diego In October (KPBS feature): Pulitzer Prize winner Paula Vogel's late-'90s work, "The Mineola Twins" is a great showcase for a gifted comedic actress, and local Samantha Ginn is up for the challenge. Ginn plays both Myrna and Myra, "almost identical" twins as they navigate entirely different outlooks during multiple decades of the women's movement in America from the mid-1950s through the first Bush administration. That alone is quite the task, and toss in the complicated acting (and costume changes) associated with swapping between Myra and Myrna, this promises to be a wild one to watch. Directed by Moxie cofounder Jennifer Eve Thorn, the cast is rounded out by three more actors who also portray multiple characters (Emily Jerez, Phillip Magin and Desireé Clarke). COVID information: Proof of vaccination or proof of negative PCR test within 72 hours. Guests under 12 not allowed. Masks required in the theater. --Julia Dixon Evans, KPBS From the theater: One dirty sock might end it all. Myrna and Myra are ALMOST identical twins with very different world views. When one sock crosses the threshold of their separate lives, a battle ensues that races through the Eisenhower, Nixon and Reagan/Bush years in this delicious comedy that dives into the brasiers of the ultra-conservative and ultra-liberal to find… boobs on both sides.

Quint Gallery is pleased to present an installation of new paintings by San Diego-based artist Gail Roberts. Created over the past four years, "Color Field" includes 128 equally scaled paintings of flowers, weeds, and native plants in Roberts’ garden surrounding her studio. Color Field refers to gradients found in nature which Roberts has ordered and classified by hue for the installation. The exhibition will open to the public on September 8 and will continue through Nov. 6, 2021. There will be a reception on September 11 from 6-8 p.m. and an artist talk on October 9 at 11 a.m. By engaging with nature’s tension between order and chaos, Roberts’ paintings illustrate the significance of protecting nature’s intricacy and biodiversity as accelerated erosion and the climate crisis threaten the future health and survival of our planet. In these paintings, each blossom, whether large or small, widely popular or undervalued, drought-tolerant or water guzzlers, indigenous or alien, invasive or fragile, edible or toxic, is given an equal role in a so-called ‘documentary on democracy’, granting grandeur to the subtlety of the underrepresented and less noticeable flowers. This is Roberts’ largest body of work to date. Gail Roberts’ work has been exhibited nationally and internationally including the Centro Estatal de las Artes in Tijuana and Ensenada; Galeria Nacional, San Jose, Costa Rica; Musee Rochefort-en-terre, Brittany, France; Ballinglen Museum of Contemporary Art, Ballycastle, Ireland; Carnegie Museum, Oxnard, CA; Oceanside Museum of Art, CA; Riverside Museum, CA; Fresno Metropolitan Museum, CA; California Center for the Arts Museum, and Madison Art Center, WI. Her work is included in permanent collections at the Oakland Museum, Museum of Contemporary Art, San Diego, as well as numerous corporate and private collections. Roberts has received various awards including the San Diego Art Prize, California Arts Council Fellowship and residency fellowships in France, Costa Rica and Ireland. She has completed public art commissions at the Chicago Public Library, Lux Art Institute, San Diego International Airport, Gibbs Cancer and Research Center and the Bearden-Josey Center, South Carolina. Gail Roberts received her BFA and MA at the University of New Mexico in Albuquerque and is a Professor of Art Emerita at San Diego State University.
